Legionnaires' Outbreak on Upper East Side | New York City News
Description
Legionnaires’ disease has hit the Upper East Side hard—60 confirmed cases, 20+ hospitalized, zero deaths so far. The outbreak centers on Carnegie Hill and Yorkville, with 31 cooling towers testing positive. While officials have cleaned all contaminated towers, the exact source remains unknown—could take weeks to pin down. Crucially, the disease isn’t contagious, and tap water, showers, and AC are safe to use. If you’ve been in the area since late June, watch for cough, fever, or breathing trouble.
